Default substrate question (added pics)

Okay, I've added 120 lbs of caribsea arag-alive to the new tank. The instructions on the bag say: "no rinsing, just dump it in" so thats what I did. Now three days later, my water is still not only cloudy, it looks DIRTY. I left the powerhead off for 30ish hours in hopes that it would settle faster, and it did....turn the powerhead on, and I'm back to square one in 20 seconds flat. The junk looks like its a coppery-brown color... Anyone have any ideas, or should I just empty it's contents into a ditch and throw the tank in the garage and forget about it because thats about the point I am at...
